Modeling the effect of the reaction wheel moment on the satellite body using SolidWorks and then SimMechanics.

28 views (last 30 days)
I am modeling the impact of the moment of a reaction wheel mounted on the z-axis on the body of a satellite in Solidworks, and then I want to transfer it to SimMechanics.
The problem is that the moment from the reaction wheel is not transmitted to the satellite body, the wheel rotates at 3000 rpm, but the position of the satellite does not change in any way:
This is due to either the wrong type of mates (I chose concentricity and coincidence) or additional force effects.
The initial coupling is concentric and coincident. Using the Force/Torque Manager in SW, I applied a torque to the wheel and specified the satellite body as the reaction body.
I.e. I managed to generate this motion via Force/Torque PropertyManager in SW. But it's still not the same. I plan to transfer the model to SimMechanics and set control signals, so the reaction should be defined via mechanical couplings. I don't know if it will work via forces set via Force/Torque Manager.
